From Health, Safety and Environment Department to our valued customers in Jafza.

The Fire Alarm System in Jafza premises is designed and engineered to provide us with an early warning to allow us to safely exit the building during an emergency. It also brings us convenience and real-time peace of mind while reducing false alarms.

Do’s:
- Understand what might trigger the false alarm
- Replace single-sensor detectors with multi-sensors and use the appropriate approved detectors.
- Carry out more rigorous maintenance of the system.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms regularly.

Don’ts:
- Leave candles, incense, or other open flames unattended.

- Leave cooking appliances unattended.

Due to ongoing construction works for the Jebel Ali Rail Terminal outside Jebel Ali Gate 1 and 2, we will be implementing traffic adjustments and road diversions starting 26 August 2024, for a period of approximately 18 months. These changes are to support the construction activities and maintain a smooth flow of traffic.

Key changes:

• Light Vehicle Entry

Entry to Gate 1 and 2 will be partially affected due to the closure of the bridge from Al Yalayis street. However, access from D57 (Al Yalayis street) and E11 (Sheikh Zayed Road) towards Gate 1 and 2 will remain operational.

• Exit for Light Vehicles and Buses

The exit route for light vehicles and buses will be diverted through a new route outside Jebel Ali Gate 2.

• Heavy Truck Diversion – Exit

All heavy trucks currently exiting from Gate 1 and 2 will be diverted to Jebel Ali Gate 7, Gate 8, and South Zone Gates 10 and 11, to avoid congestion.

• Fuel Tankers for Refineries (ENOC/EPPCO & Emarat)

Fuel tankers to and from refineries will be redirected through Jebel Ali Cargo Gate 3. Please follow the indicated signage for this route.

• EGA Vehicles

Exit routes from Jafza Gate 1 to EGA facility will remain unaffected.
